One was worried at the reaction her child had at home. Andrea Malyon has a nine-year-old who she fears Is getting a message that may be beyond her under- standing. "Let me first say that | think R.H. Cornish has a top notch staff whom 1 admire greatly," she said. "But my child came home upset because she thought her favorite teacher was going to lose her job. My kids are becoming mis- trustful of government, Mail strike From page 1 advise you not to try and mail it, because it will just sit there." Workers at regional distribution centres refuse to sort and deliver most mail while proceeding with their strike. As a gesture of good will, CUPW ensured that those who receive Child Tax Credit and Social Assistance (wel- fare) cheques will have their money delivered. While he would not comment on the pre- sent strike, Mr. Walker clearly stated that the local office would not join the strike at a later date to,show support for their fellow posties if the dispute became a lengthy one. * "We will not join the them if it goes on; actually we are antici- pating an early settle- ment to this; perhaps even Sunday," Mr Walker explained. He also said that if the strike continues, he does not know if the Queen St. office will be able to keep all staff at work. Caring for Children 18 months to 9 years Utica © Community DayCare and this concerns me. "I support a great deal of what the teachers are saying, but, these are adult problems not a child's prob- lem, and it really bothers me that they feel threat- ened by all this. Let the adults worry about these things, and let the kids be kids." Mr. DeJong agrees. "It 1s board policy and our personal policy not to discuss education policy in the classroom," he said. "1 sent a memo to all our teaching staff to reinforce that stand. "The older kids are dis- cussing the strike and its fallout; we can't help that. But I can assure parents that this school's kids will not be indoctrinated in the classroom." But Mr.-DedJong does want to get the word out to parents that the fight over Bill 160 must be an organized one. Parents at the meeting were urged to attend a meeting on Wednesday, November 26 in the library at R.H. Cornish Public School to help form a lobby group to fight the bill and if necessary defeat the Harris government in the next election. Any one interested in helping, no matter where their child goes to school, 1s urged to attend. PONTIAC TRANS SPORT : | a o.
